NO ‘BACK-SEAT DRIVING’
U.S. MISSIONS IN BALKANS COMMANDERS' AUTHORITY (10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, May 25. The United Press reports that the Under-Secretary of State, Mr. Dean Achcson, disclosed that the Secretary of State, Mr. George Marshall, has decided to organise Greek and Turkish military missions as he did the American Army during the war. He is delegating to the chiefs of each mission complete authority, such as is given to a wartime commander of an operational theatre. There will be no back-seat driving from Washington or the Ambassadors in Greece and Turkey. Mr. Marshall is also appointing a State Department officer to co-ordinate both the aid programmes.
